Stardock is known for developing acclaimed and successful software titles, including games, on the PC platform but this week the company announced it is expanding into the growing mobile device market with the formation of Stardock Mobile. The first game from the division, Dead Man's Draw, will be released sometime in October for iOS devices.

In a press release, Stardock said that all of their mobile games will have at least some strategy elements. That seems to be true of Dead Man's Draw. The press release states:

Drawing from the best elements of the puzzle, strategy and classic card games, Dead Man’s Draw is a new take on the genre: Swords steal, maps uncover, and cannons blast as you battle against a wide variety of pirates with different traits and abilities.

Stardock has two more games that are due out in 2014 from the Stardock Mobile division. One is called Hero Busters while the company has not released any information on the game, the screenshot above looks like it will have an old school graphics art style.

The other new game due out in 2014 is Star Trails. Again, there's no information but Stardock Mobile provided a screenshot that suggests it will be a space strategy title.
